    Chance of BMM getting named edge (or anywhere) in round 1 is zero, given the Dragons bye

    Potentially he'll still be given DPP based on trials (its happened before, although I think that was in previous interpretations of DPP requirements)

    Round 2 never mind, you get the point though. Even if he doesn't initially get dual, being available at MID is great and if he's starting on the edge he's getting enough mins to be value at 250k.

    What does Roosters best back 5 look like?

    FB Tedesco
    Manu one CTR
    Tupou one wing
    Suaalii definitely other CTR or is he a chance at playing wing
    Momirovski the last spot? Will someone like Allen/Paulo make it to the first choice team?

    Based on these trial teams, I'm pretty keen to pickup Makinson, Walmsley and Percival

    My guess would be Teddy FB, Tupou left wing, Suali'i left centre, Manu right centre, Paulo right wing.

    Is Manly hooker Gordon Chan Kum Tong the first quad-barrelled name in NRL?

    Pretty sure its happened in Women's game, but have we seen it in the Men's comp before?

    I bet Fuimaono plays there at some point in the early rounds. And some people will no doubt be swayed into trading him in when he does

    Fui named 18 in the trial, not sure if that is due to injury or because he's not very good (or both)

    Yeah given this is Griffin, that may happen, but BMM is apparently much slimmer than he was at the Warriors, which would make sense if he's playing edge instead of middle (insert "training the house down" joke here)

    I know there's lots of value in the middle, but anyone looking at running it back with Max King? Not overly compelling stats, but could improve a little in his second year. I did love watching him play last year

    Looking at St Helens team can't believe James Roby is still running around

    Just had to google how old he was. He's 37. Cam Smith like in his longevity

    2nd year? He debuted in 2017 and has played 74 first grade games.

    And I don't see him improving much on last year. Not enough to provide fantasy value at least

    As far as running a rugby league ball back from an opposition kick I have no intel on but I'll make sure to keep everyone posted

    Points of fantasy interest in 2nd trials:

    Knights: Elliot bench (has been recovering from injury)
    Roosters: Egan Butcher
    Manly: Jurbo prop, Keppie mins watch??
    Rabbitohs: No Milne in sight (suspended players can play trials as per Matterson & May)
    Panthers: No Soni Luke in sight (definitely wouldn't take plunge on his role without a trial/WCC)
    Cowboys: No Sadrugu (what a shock said no-one ever)
    Warriors: Ford starting, Curran bench??
    Tigers: No Blore/Matamua starting but Seyfarth is quite underpriced in small sample at EDG - depends on Bateman timeline
